For Yigal it was all about his boys. Rarely do we even see his face. A humble but a great man. His work was noble.

[@daniellebovits3866]

Beautiful. Authentic Jewish music. Uplifting and holy. Yuh also be blessed.

Incredible genius and virtuosity, didn['t want the album to ever end. Calek would have saved thousands of nshamot in USA.

they sung a great song arranged in honor of the experience there in Russia. I loved it as a child, thank you for this other piece of the puzzle for me...
edit: I think the name of the song was the forgotten princess

Yes

[@judaicaman007]

what is the date on this video? Anyone know?

[@MrDannyDetail]

This was a live edition of Blue Peter broadcast on Monday 10th April 1989. It began with an item on baby badgers (which I suspect was the item where Yvette was infamously bitten by a badger), then there was a Save The Children and Princess Anne trailer, followed by a film with Yvette and gardener Chris Crowder at the Lancaster Flower Festival, then a garden shoot (probably shot that morning) with Sue Elkins where the pond was cleaned up, then a film of Caron trying Uphill Skiing, then finally the London School of Jewish Song seen here.

[@healer72]

@wowowoo1 yes:)
